What is the conversion of mass to weight?
To get the weight, multiply the mass by the acceleration of gravity wherever the mass happens to be at the moment. Dependoing on local acceleration of gravity, the weight changes from place to place.
Why is weight directly proportinal to mass?
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity As acceleration due to gravity remains constant at a given place, weight becomes proportional to the mass
What are science facts about weight?
you can measure weight by a scale. weight could change from place to place like if you go to the moon you will weigh less because there is less gravitational pull on you. it basically depends on mass and mass is the amount of matter an object is made of. mass does not change so on the moon your mass does not change it's your weight that changes
What is the difference about weight and mass?
weight is the measurement of the strength earth's gravity pulling on an object. depending on location, it is possible for weight to vary from place to place. mass is the amount of matter constantly present in the an object.
Why is it that your weight change from place to place but your mass stays the same?
Your mass is how much matter you are made up of. Your weight is how much force you exert on your surroundings. If the force of gravity is greater or weaker, then your constant mass will exert more, or less force on the surroundings, ie, your weight will be different.
How are weight and mass affected by gravity?
Mass is not affected by gravity. Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on mass.
Contrast weight and mass?
The world has mass but no weight. Mass is a measure of quantity of matter, Weight is indicated by the pull on a mass in a gravitational field, or equivalently resistance to acceleration.
Is mass and weight changes with change of place?
Weight changes depending on the gravitational pull exerted on an object, i.e. if it is on the Earth or if it is on the moon. Mass, however, remains constant.
Why don't scientist use weight instead of mass as a measurement?
Weight is not a physical property of an object, it is an effect, which varies from place to place. A given object will have the same mass no matter whether it is on the Earth, or on Mars, or somewhere in between.
If acceleration equals gravity. what is the weight of the object?
Object's weight = (object's mass) multiplied by (acceleration of gravity in the place where the object is)
How do you switch weight to mass?
to know the answer you should know the difference between wieght and mass. mass is the actual amount of substances of which it contains, and the weight is the product of mass with gravity. it means if mass is denoted by "m" then the weight will be "mg" where "g" is accelaration due to gravity . so if u wish to switch weight to mass u can devide by "g" mathematically, or u can take that body into the place where no gravity is seen.
Can a body has mass but no weight justify your answer?
A body always has mass. The Weight is dependent on the gravity inflicted on that body. According to F=mg, where Weight is equal to "F", Weight is 0 when gravity is equal to 0. The only place that gravity is 0 is in outer space so there's no weight in outer space but you will always still have a mass.
